Can't Sleep...anyone else?
I lost over 100 lbs. about a year and half ago, when going through the process I found myself only sleeping 4 or 5 hours a night, over the last few months I have gained about 40 lbs back, and I slept all night long. Now I am losing again, trying to get back to my goal weight and find myself looking at the clock for most of…

SEPTEMBER WEIGHT-POSTING CHALLENGE
This is really more of an experiment than a challenge. I have been struggling with my weight going up and down since about April. I am challenging myself to weigh every day, for me it will be first thing in the morning before any food or water, and to post it on this thread. I want to see if knowing that I will be posting…

Help, if you've been here
My story, began in February 2015 at 330 lbs. with blood pressure and diabetic issues. Losing from 330 to about 200 lbs was, for lack of a better word, easy. I had no problems staying on my eating plan, avoiding restaurants, and keeping my workout schedule. Hit the 199 mark in April of 2016 and ever since then...oh boy. I…

330 lbs. to Onederland in just over a year! (with pictures)
February of 2015 I weighed 330 lbs and was diagnosed with diabetes (on top of high blood pressure that I had for years). I got serious, came to my senses, and sought God's strength through prayer. I began a process of eating less, eating better, and moving more. In the last year I have now completed 3 5k runs (and run an…

***Warning*** Gross Topic
When I started out to get into better health I weighed about 330 to 340 lbs. At this weight and eating as I did I would go to the bathroom (#2) at least twice daily and sometimes more often. As I have cut my food intake, lost weight and become more healthy, I am now finding that I often go a day or two with any bowel…

What should my weekly goal be?
As of today I have lost 125 pounds (that seems unreal as I see it in type), I would like to lose 30 pounds more, but the loss is becoming slower and more difficult. What should my weekly loss goal look like at this point. FYI I workout at a moderate pace for 40 minutes per day for 6 days per week.

How do I log jumping rope?
I can't find any entry for it, they have all kinds of odd entries (playing guitar while sitting, billiards, etc), but no one jumps rope?

Is this a phase or what?
Been on mfp since March 2015 and lost over 100 lb. I have done really well.... until the last week or so. I seem to have lost all control. I can't keep my spoon put of the peanut butter jar and I go through the fridge and clean out the leftovers, this had never been a problem before. Has anyone else experienced this? Any…

It's getting hard
As I lose more weight my calories keep going lower & lower... down to 1300 after my last weigh-in. I exercise 3 days/ week so I have more calories on those days. What advice do you have for the other days? Today I stole a page from the intermittent fasting book and skipped breakfast. Any other ideas?

Running vs Stairmaster
I have been running 3 times per week, but as it is getting colder I am considering transitioning to my Stairmaster (the only exercise equipment I own). Will this give me similar benefits, calories burned, fitness level, as the running?

Eat lunch at Hospital cafeteria

As an example, today's lunch was a chicken breast franchese (whatever that means it tasted good), green beans oregano, and roasted zucchini. Total calories: 285 and it tasted great, and it was less than $5 for the meal. Check…

What is the most accurate site to calculate calories burned? I entered one hour push mowing and the number was huge, would love to believe it, but doubt it.
